Homelessness Remains Pressing Concern for Pattaya

Pattaya municipal officers have been intensifying their daily efforts to address the issue of homelessness in the city, yet the problem persists.


Municipal officers conducted a recent operation to manage and relocate homeless individuals around the city recently.


During their patrol, they found two homeless individuals, a man and a woman, lying across the entrance of a residence near the TIP shop on Thepprasit Road, blocking the doorway just before the Thappraya intersection. The officers removed them from the area and are coordinating with relevant social welfare agencies to find their family.

Despite ongoing efforts by Pattaya’s municipal officers to address the issue, homeless people continue to be seen around the city. Even with regular enforcement, homelessness remains an unresolved challenge in Pattaya.


In addition, tourists and residents have been complaining about migrant beggars who cause annoyance by peddling flowers and candies. There are also concerns about alleged human trafficking and the exploitation of children by these beggars.
